Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a process for the hydrogenation of aromatics using nickel based catalysts. More particularly, the present invention relates to the hydrogenation of aromatics in hydrocarbon feedstocks containing thiopheneic compounds, which are known to deactivate nickel catalysts and to substantially reduce catalyst life.
- Nickel-containing catalysts are widely used to hydrogenate aromatic compounds in various hydrocarbon feedstocks. Because of the sensitivity of nickel catalysts to poisoning by sulfur compounds commonly found in such feedstocks, the feedstocks are normally desulfurized to a considerable degree prior to being contacted with the nickel catalyst. Despite the desulfurization step, it is not uncommon for small amounts of sulfur impurities to remain in the feedstocks, including aromatic sulfur compounds, such as thiophene, benzothiophene and dibenzothiophene, which are particularly poisonous to supported nickel catalysts.
- aromatic sulfur compounds such as thiophene, benzothiophene and dibenzothiophene
- Nickel based catalysts used to hydrogenate aromatics in feedstocks containing thiopheneic compounds generally have shorter catalyst lives than feedstocks containing lower molecular weight sulfur compounds, because of the tendency of the thiopheneic compounds under conventional process conditions to be adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst, thereby deactivating it. Accordingly, it can be seen that an aromatics hydrogenation process operated in such a manner that thiopheneic compounds in the feedstock did not poison or deactivate the nickel based catalyst employed in the process, would be highly desirable.
- the present invention provides such an improved process.
- the present invention is directed to an improved process for the hydrogenation of aromatics in hydrocarbon feedstocks containing thiopheneic compounds as impurities, the aromatics hydrogenation being conducted in a hydrogenation reactor in the presence of nickel based catalysts.
- the improvement comprises operating the hydrogenation reactor at a reaction temperature sufficiently high from the start of a run, that the thiopheneic compounds are decomposed and substantially absorbed into the bulk of the nickel based catalyst.
- Figure 1 is a graph showing the effect of reaction temperature on sulfur poisoning of a nickel catalyst by a thiopheneic compound in a hydrocarbon solvent feedstock. The results are expressed in terms of as aromatics concentration in the product as a function of sulfur exposure and reaction temperature.
- Figure 2 is a graph showing aromatics concentration in the product from the hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon solvent feedstock containing different thiopheneic compounds at different concentrations.
- Figure 3 is a graph showing the attempted recovery of a deactivated nickel catalyst by raising the temperature to elevated levels.
- the present invention relates to an improved process for hydrogenating aromatics in hydrocarbon feedstocks containing thiopheneic compounds using nickel based catalysts.
- thiopheneic compounds as used herein.is intended to include relatively high molecular weight aromatic sulfur compounds such as thiophene, benzothiophene, dibenzothiophene and the like, which are known poisons to nickel based catalysts.
- the improved aromatics hydrogenation process of the present invention involves contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock containing aromatics and thiopheneic compounds with an activated nickel based catalyst in a reactor, at a relatively high reaction temperature from the, start of the run.
- a new charge of nickel catalyst is "activated” following a procedure recommended by the catalyst vendor.
- the activation procedure usually involves heating the catalyst in the reactor at specified heating rates and for specified periods of time in flowing hydrogen which reduces the nickel catalyst thereby activating it. Specifically, this step reduces nickel oxide to nickel metal. The latter is the active site in the catalyst.
- the reactor is cooled down and the run is started by introducing hydrocarbon feedstock into the reactor with hydrogen. Because, nickel catalysts are generally believed to deactivate more rapidly at higher temperatures, commercial aromatics hydrogenation reactors are normally started at the lowest temperature required to meet product specifications. As the catalyst deactivates over time, the reactor temperature is raised to compensate for the loss in activity.
- the basis for the present invention is the surprising discovery that by operating the aromatics hydrogenation process at an elevated temperature from the start of the run, it is possible to convert thiopheneic compounds into species that are diffused or absorbed into the bulk of the nickel catalyst instead of forming surface species which poison the catalyst. Because of this, nickel catalysts employed in the improved process of the invention have longer lifetimes, in some cases up to three times or more the lifetimes of catalysts run on the same feed at a lower starting temperature.
- a further surprising discovery is that if the process is operated at a lower temperature initially and the catalyst deactivates, the activity cannot be restored by raising the temperature to elevated levels thereafter.
- the key to the improved process of the present invention is to operate the process at an elevated temperature from the start of the run, and to maintain the process at a temperature sufficiently high that the thiopheneic compounds present in the feedstock continue to be converted into a species which is absorbed into the catalyst bulk, instead of being adsorbed on the catalyst surface.
- start of the run generally refers to the point in time that feedstock containing thiopheneic compounds and hydrogen are first introduced into a reactor containing a new or fresh charge of active nickel based catalyst.
- Start of the run generally does not include any catalyst activation procedure per se, which is normally accomplished in the absence of feedstock. While it is preferred to bring the reactor to the required high temperature from the time feedstock and hydrogen are first introduced into the reactor, the term “start of the run” in its broader sense is intended to include any point in time before the nickel catalyst adsorbs a substantial amount of thiopheneic compounds on its surface. Thus, short delays in bringing the reactor to the required temperature after feedstock introduction is still considered to come within meaning of "start of the run", and to be within the scope of the present invention.
- reaction temperature refers to the temperature at which the hydrocarbon feedstock and hydrogen make initial contact with active nickel catalyst in the reactor.
- reaction temperature In a typical fixed-bed downflow reactor with a fresh charge of catalyst, the “reaction temperature” will be essentially the same as the reactor inlet temperature. Since the hydrogenation of aromatics is an exothermic reaction, there will usually be temperature differential across the catalyst bed, with the reactor outlet temperature normally being higher than the reactor inlet temperature. As a run progresses, that portion of catalyst in the reactor with the greatest exposure to sulfur compounds will deactivate first, and hydrogenation of aromatics will occur in subsequent portions of the catalyst bed until there is insufficient active catalyst remaining in order to meet product specifications, at which time the catalyst will be need to be replaced.
- reaction temperature be maintained from the start of the run sufficiently high that the thiopheneic compounds present in the hydrocarbon feedstock will be converted to into a species which is absorbed in the bulk of the nickel, instead of being adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst. It is also important that the temperature throughout the reactor not exceed the temperature at which unwanted side reactions, such as cracking will occur. While the reaction temperature in accordance with the present invention may vary somewhat depending on the activity of the nickel based catalyst being used and the particular reactor design, the reaction temperature from the start of the run will generally range from about 140°C to about 225°C, preferably from about 149°C to about 200°C, and most preferably from 150°C to about 175°C. Based on the foregoing teachings and the examples, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art what reaction temperatures to employ to obtain bulk sulfiding of thiopheneic compounds in various other types of reactors which may be used for aromatics hydrogenation.
- suitable process conditions for carrying out the improved aromatics hydrogenation process of the invention include a total pressure of about 200 psig to about 800 psig, preferably from about 300 psig to about 600 psig, and a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSN) of from about 0.5 to about 5.0, preferably from about 1.0 to about 3.0.
- LHSN liquid hourly space velocity
- Hydrogen use in terms of hydrogen consumption basis the total hydrogen flow is in the range of from about 5% to about 80%, preferably in the range of from about 20% to about 50%.
- Hydrocarbon feedstocks suitable for use in the improved aromatics hydrogenation process of the present invention include any hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons boiling in the range of about 80°C to about 350°C and containing from about 1 w% to about 80 w% aromatics, up to 100 w% aromatics, preferably from about 2 w% to about 50 w% aromatics. It is noted that in commercial practice with higher aromatic concentrations in the feed, it is typical to dilute the feed with product recycle to control heat release, thereby diluting the actual aromatic level reaching the catalyst in the reactor.
- the improved aromatics hydrogenation process of the invention can be employed to reduce the aromatics concentration in the hydrocarbon feedstocks being treated to the desired level. For example, depending on product specifications, to levels of less than about 0.2 w%, less than about 0.02 w%, or even less than about 0.002 w%, (the latter value being the limit of detection).
- Suitable feedstocks include light and heavy solvents, white oils, naphtha, kerosene, diesel and the like containing from 0.1 ppm to 50 ppm thiopheneic compounds, preferably from about 0.2 ppm to about 10 ppm thiopheneic compounds.
- the improved process of the invention is particularly advantageous in the dearomatization of hydrocarbon solvent feedstocks, such as light and heavy solvents, including naphtha, boiling in the range of ' from about 80°C to about 350°C.
- Applications for the solvent products after hydrogenation include use in coatings (paint, varnishes and lacquers), industrial cleaners, printing inks, extractive processes, and pharmaceuticals.
- any modern nickel based catalyst may be employed in the improved aromatics hydrogenation process of the invention.
- This includes catalysts prepared by impregnation referred as supported nickel catalysts and also those prepared by coprecipitation referred to as bulk nickel catalysts.
- Supported nickel catalysts which may be used in the process of the invention will generally have a nickel content of from about 10 w% to about 35 w%, preferably from about 15 w% to about 30 w%.
- Bulk nickel catalysts which may be used in the process of the invention will generally have a nickel content from about 20 w% to about 80 w%, with a nickel content of about 30 w% to about 70 w% being preferred. The nickel contents are all based on final, activated (reduced) catalyst.
- the overall range of nickel contents for the nickel based catalysts suitable for use in the improved process of the invention is from about 10 w% to about 80 w%.
- the nickel catalysts suitable for use in the present process may include minor amounts of other catalytic metals as long as such metals do not interfere with the decomposition of the thiopheneic compounds and formation of the bulk sulfur species.
- Suitable supports for supported nickel based catalysts include one or more refractory oxides such as alumina, silica, silica alumina, titania, zirconia and combinations thereof. Alumina, silica, or mixtures thereof, are particularly preferred supports.
- the BET surface area of the final catalyst may range from about 40 m 2 /g to about 300 m 2 /g, preferably from about 80 m 2 /g to about 250 m 2 /g.
- Example 1 A set of experiments was conducted to demonstrate the effect of reaction temperature on the poisoning of supported nickel catalysts used for hydrogenation of hydrocarbon feedstocks containing thiopheneic compounds.
- the catalyst used in these experiments was a commercially available high activity nickel catalyst containing 28 w% nickel on an alumina support having a BET surface area of 120-140 m 2 /g.
- the catalyst was supplied in a pre-reduced and air stabilized form. A 25 cc portion of the catalyst
- the catalyst used in Run 5 was analyzed for sulfur content and was found to have 6.5 w%, which is in good agreement with the calculated value.
- the sulfur level in the product was measured periodically in Runs 4 and 5 and was always less than 1 ppm, while the feed had about 50 ppm. Thus, all the benzothiophene in the feed passed over the catalyst was converted to a species which was absorbed on/into the catalyst bulk without deactivating it.
